Hi, welcome to Tech This Evening, an After-Work Tech Newsletter from Techparley Africa. Sure, there is a lot to unpack right now. Sit back, while I walk you through.
Top Story: How Clarrio is Using AI, Wearables and Predictive Data to Fight Chronic Diseases in Africa
Clarrio.ai, a predictive analytics startup, is using artificial intelligence to bridge Africa’s health data gap. The platform turns real-time physiological, behavioural, and environmental signals into predictive insights.
Originally launched in 2023 as Knowlepsy, the platform was inspired by the personal journey of CEO and founder Firas Rhaiem. His sister suffered frequent epileptic seizures, but her doctors lacked vital data on seizure patterns and environmental triggers.
“We saw that no one had data not only for epilepsy but for all chronic diseases,” Rhaiem said. “If you leave the hospital, you’re disconnected.”
By building a tool to aggregate her records, Rhaiem helped reduce her seizures from weekly episodes to years without one.

Exclusive: Meet the Power Couple Behind Cofluenxa, the Startup Revolutionising Nigeria’s Creator and Influencer Marketing
When creativity meets code, innovation often follows. But in the case of Nigerian couple Musa Ganiyu and content creator Oluwateniola Bakare, that fusion has resulted in a new startup called Cofluenxa, a platform built to transform influencer marketing in Nigeria and, eventually, across Africa.
Cofluenxa (short for Collaborate with Influencers) is a self-serve, data-driven marketplace that connects brands directly with vetted content creators. But it’s more than a marketplace, it’s a response to a broken system the founders personally experienced from opposite ends.
Ganiyu, a software engineer who has led campaign strategy for startups, often ran into operational headaches. Meanwhile, Oluwateniola, a skilled UGC content creator and video editor, was struggling to secure brand deals in an ecosystem that privileges follower count and visibility over talent.
In their own words: “We were both frustrated for opposite reasons.” So they decided to build a solution together, one that levels the playing field for creators and streamlines access for brands.
